Not just Formula 1 that may produce a British winner this weekend - A Brit, Blake Aldridge, has won a cliff diving contest in Cuba. Well done that man!

and I would expect there are alot of people in Bray who know the families involved

There is a much better case for secrecy for the accuser, as the past history of threats, intimidation and violence towards them and their families by known criminals proves.

As has been the case with most F1 cars for as long as I can remember.

As has been the case with much of the improved technology built into modern German saloon cars for many years.

Ferrari couldn't have won a race against a three legged donkey and rarely even completed an F1 race, until an English design and construction team and English boss took over and showed them how it was done.

Schui was very fortunate to have joined Ferrari at about the same time.

Not a lot is said about it for obvious reasons otherwise it wouldn't be anything like the universal attraction it is, to Eu fans especially.

That used to be the case when it was CART but I'm not sure it still is.

The chasis is made by Dallara in italy.

The engines are by Chevrolet and Honda and I don't know where they are built.

Too busy to Google them :)

Consider also where quite a lot of the cutting edge hi-tec equipment built into many of today's cars worldwide, was developed.

A GP faces being struck off for stealing £130 pounds from the mothers purse of a baby patient. The mother left the room to attend to the baby, and caught the doctor rifling through her handbag.

She did not realise the money was missing until she got home.

An abuse of trust, how many women would think twice before leaving her handbag in their GPs presence?


I am sure the GP is on a good salary and had no great need to steal.

To struck or not to struck, that is the question:)
